The place for the configuration is sensibly Edit>Preferences>Conversion>Formats as this fits well in the existing infrastructure. BibTeX would not be the only format where the "Viewer" is actually an editor. However, adding the bibtex format without an lfun to open the bibtex database in the "viewer" doesnot make much sense. (We could have a script bib2lyx that inserts \citeall and calls bibtex-insert on the given bibtex database added to the converters.) Günter -- G.Milde web.de
